Nile Bunger speaks as moderator Jennifer Chau listens during the session titled “Justice for Whom: Uplifting Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Voices and Perspectives” on Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023. The AAPI Victory Alliance hosted its first ever Climate Justice Conference in Koreatown on Oct. 18-20, bringing together community leaders, climate experts and allies to address climate justice and equity, with an emphasis on Native Hawaiian and Paciifc Islanders.
In a statement, AAPI Victory Alliance Executive Director Varun Nikore said that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders “have long been sounding the alarm about climate change — particularly because they will be disproportionately affected. Their livelihoods will be the first ones to be fully disrupted.”
The climate crisis “is something that is a ‘now’ issue, impacting us currently. Climate change doesn’t wait for anybody,” she said later. “You can’t talk about truly solving and fighting climate crises — in the Pacific Islands, Africa, or parts of Asia; where detrimental climate concerns are happening — without mentioning racial injustice and how these communities are directly impacted.”
